Self Chain Testnet Phase 2: 500K $SLF in Rewards for Builders & Node Runners
Testnet Phase 2 has been all about pushing the boundaries of smart contract development and network performance. Now, we’re taking it even further by rolling out 500,000 $SLF in rewards, designed to empower developers building with CosmWasm and incentivize node runners securing the Self Chain network.
Total Incentive Pool: 500K $SLF
- 400K SLF Developer Grant: Fueling CosmWasm development on Self Chain
- 100K SLF Node Runner Rewards: Strengthening the backbone of our decentralized infrastructure
Developer Grant Program – 400K $SLF Token in Rewards
With CosmWasm smart contracts now enabled, Testnet Phase 2 provides developers with a modular, high-performance environment to deploy, test, and optimize their dApps. We’re setting aside 400,000 SLF in grants to reward projects that push the boundaries of decentralized innovation on Self Chain.
This program is not just about funding. It’s about fostering innovation on Self Chain by equipping developers with the resources to build next-generation Web3 applications that are scalable, interoperable, and secure.
What This Grant Program Offers
Developers accepted into the Self Chain CosmWasm Grant Program will get access to:
- 400K $SLF in available funding for developers to help build, optimize, and scale their projects.
- A dedicated testnet environment to deploy and refine CosmWasm-based applications before transitioning to mainnet.
- Technical and ecosystem support to enhance smart contract security, efficiency, and functionality.
If you’re a developer looking to test, experiment, and push the limits of smart contract execution, this is your opportunity to build with funding and support.
Who Can Apply?
Developers who will actively deploy CosmWasm smart contracts on the Self Chain Testnet are eligible to apply. The program is designed to support builders leveraging CosmWasm’s modular and secure framework to create efficient, cross-chain compatible applications.

Node Operators: 100K $SLF Token in Rewards
Node operators are the backbone of Self Chain’s security and decentralization. This testnet phase offers an opportunity to fine-tune validator setups in a controlled environment, ensuring seamless participation in the broader network.
Incentives for Node Operators
100K in $SLF Tokens are allocated for full-node runners participating in the testnet.
How to Participate
- Set up a Self Chain Testnet full node using the guide in the documentation.
- Maintain uptime and contribute to network decentralization during the testing period.
- Earn SLF token rewards based on participation and network contribution.
Building The Foundation of Seamless Web3 Future
The Self Chain Testnet Phase 2 is an open invitation for developers and node operators to take part in shaping the future of blockchain.
By participating, builders are shaping how Self Chain’s infrastructure will operate at scale. This phase allows for deep testing of execution performance, contract efficiency, and cross-chain interactions, ensuring the network is optimized before further advancements.
Every transaction, deployment, and optimization made during this phase helps solidify Self Chain’s infrastructure foundation as a frictionless, AI-powered modular L1. If you’re ready to build, now is the time to contribute.
